Storm Warning - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

Close shop? Does that give us some hints?

Goes to show how much 10.3/.7 UK you play, the Stormers are pretty terrible on colder and/or cloudy maps (due to Stingers and IR locking) and almost entirely cannot deal with Obama drones. OSA fixes that in a way that can cosplay both subtrees (Don’t like that it’s Indian? ZA operated some OSAs too!), while also providing a long range SPAA for those with bad ping, remember the Stormer HVM suuucks with ping above ~70-100.

I disagree with you, this would give UK very little vehicles in the future. One line, maybe 2 of eurofighters until F35B. More representation is good and things like su30mki or Indian mig29k are very interesting planes that are unique to their domestic counterpart

A gap very, verrrry much existed at that BR.

You have the stormer HVM, which is a direct hit only hopium weapon that the ping/packet loss gods are on your side. If you live beyond 100-150 ping from the server… GL bro. This is both for you AND the target, if the target lives in a high ping zone, miss still due to latency to server.

Then you have the other Stormer, which fires IR missiles, which are flare hungry and from my experience at least in the test room, like to miss planes flying in a straight line xD. Also a relatively smaller total range.

A SACLOS proxy missile with extended range was a gap needing to be filled. Its why people have been begging for Tracked Rapiers for however long even with its significant flaws.

An indian tree. If the chinese tree makes so much money, and india is modernizing and becoming a major market, why not?

I would put down bae hawk 200 as a squadron or premium. But Indian mig29k would fit as well.

The only problem is once a sub is announced it very unlikely to be moved anywhere else

People just gonna deal with it now

France and italy?

You mean just like Germany, Japan, Italy, Israel, France and Sweden don’t have much modern stuff left to be added?

Iirc that’s the Ajeet in general, it was mostly just weapons fitting modifications and squeezing in more fuel tanks so they didn’t have to run drop tanks perpetually freeing up a hardpoint for more payload. I think new radios too at some point?

Sweden can still get late gripen C and gripen E. Finnish f18, Norwegian line needs to be added too. Maybe some danish stuff but idk about their air force

And Britain can still get multiple Typhoons, the Hawks, the Cheetahs and another Harrier. There is no need for MiGs, Sukhois or even Rafales

France has like a million variants of Rafale that can be added, Japan has F2 ( can be split to late and early) or maybe even add XF-2 and F15JSI ans F35. Then there’s gonna be Thai sub tree and possibly future sub trees. And that’s kind of the point, sub trees would fill in nations at the top echelons
